DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following detailed description is exemplary in nature and is notintended to limit the scope, applicability, or embodiment of theinvention in any way. Rather, the following description provides somepractical illustrations for implementing exemplary configurations of thepresent invention. Examples of constructions, materials, dimensions, andmanufacturing processes are provided for selected elements, and allother elements employ that which is known to those of ordinary skill inthe field of the invention. Those skilled in the art will recognize thatmany of the noted examples have a variety of suitable alternatives.

An electronic display device can be used for presentation of information(e.g., images, text, or video) which can be transmitted electronically.Electronic display devices can include television sets, computermonitors, digital signage, and others. In some example configurations,the electronic display device can be wired or wirelessly connected to aninformation source (e.g., a computer, a computing network, a cloud-basedsoftware, and others). In other example configurations, the electronicdisplay device can have a computer included inside the display housing.

The electronic display device can be positioned in a location where itscontent (e.g., images) can be easily visible to a viewer. For example,in some example configurations, the electronic display device can belocated proximate to a workstation and it can be connected to a computerlocated proximate to the workstation. A user of the workstation canperform various computing functions (e.g., writing, drawing,calculating, and the like) while viewing images displayed on theelectronic display device by the computer. In other exampleconfigurations, electronic display can be positioned over a wall, on afloor stand or on a wheeled base. A display mounting system can be usedto couple the electronic display to a structure in these variousconfigurations.

The display mounting system can provide both height adjustment andarticulation (e.g., tilt, pan, side motion, and forward or backwardmotion) for the electronic display. The present inventors haverecognized that it would be desirable to isolate these motions (e.g.,height adjustment can be independent of forward or backward motion) toprovide better control of the display mounting system functions.Existing solutions which include a counterbalanced height adjustable armcoupled to an extension arm can combine height adjustment (e.g., tiltingthe arm up/down) and articulation (e.g., panning the height adjustablearm relative to the extension arm) functions, and thus, they make itdifficult to manipulate the orientation of the electronic display. Thisdisclosure describes various techniques to isolate the height adjustmentfrom the articulation of displays. These techniques will make it easy tomanipulate the display mounting system and encourage users to adjust anorientation of one or more electronic display frequently throughout theday to match their varying postures and create more ergonomic workenvironment.

This disclosure describes the construction of a display mounting system(e.g., the display mounting system 100 of FIGS. 1-2, and the displaymounting system 1100 of FIGS. 51-52) in FIGS. 1-10 according to someexample configurations of the current disclosure.

The display mounting system 100 can include a counterbalance mechanism(e.g., the counterbalance mechanism 55 of FIG. 12). This disclosuredescribes the construction and attachment of the counterbalancemechanism 55 to the display mounting system 100 in FIGS. 11-16 in anexample configuration.

The display mounting system 100 can include a mounting portion forcoupling one or more electronic displays (e.g., the bow assembly 90 ofFIG. 36, and the tilt assembly 40 of FIG. 43) to the display mountingsystem 100. This disclosure describes the construction of the mountingportion in FIGS. 36-43 in some example configurations.

The display mounting system 100 can include a cable management system(e.g., the cable management bracket assembly 80 of FIG. 44, and thecable clip 85 of FIG. 47). This disclosure describes the construction ofthe cable management system in FIGS. 44-50 in some exampleconfigurations.

The display mounting system 100 can be mounted on a wall (e.g., displaymounting system 100 of FIG. 53). This disclosure describes theconstruction of the wall mounted display mounting system in FIGS. 53-54in an example configuration.

The display mounting system (e.g., display mounting system 1100 of FIG.51) can include a holder (e.g., the holding block 1080 of FIG. 66) tohold one or more portable electronic devices proximate the electronicdisplays. This disclosure describes the construction and attachment ofthe holding block 1080 to the display mounting system 1100 in FIGS.66-68 in an example configuration.

FIGS. 1-2 are perspective views of a display mounting system 100. One ormore electronic display devices (e.g., display 10 of FIG. 1) can becoupled to the display mounting system 100. In other configurations, afirst electronic display 11, and a second electronic display 12 can becoupled to the display mounting system 100. The display mounting system10 can be configured to hold the first electronic display 11 and thesecond electronic display 12 side by side in close proximity asillustrated in FIG. 2.

In some example configurations, the display mounting system 100 caninclude a riser assembly 50 and a base 20.

In some example configurations, the base 20 canbe freestanding over the desk surface 30. In other examples, a clamp canbe coupled to the base to fixedly attach the display mounting system 100to an edge of the desk surface 30. In yet other configurations, thedisplay mounting system 100 can be mounted to the desk surface 30through a hole (e.g., grommet mount) located on the desk surface 30.

The truck assembly 70 can be movingly coupled to the riser assembly 50.The truck assembly 70 can move along at least a portion of the riserassembly 50. A counterbalance mechanism (e.g., a counterbalancemechanism similar to the counterbalance mechanism 55 shown in FIG. 12)can be included in the riser assembly 50. The counterbalance mechanism55 can be coupled to the riser assembly 50 and to the truck assembly 70.The counterbalance mechanism 55 can lift at least a portion of thecombined weight of all components (e.g., electronic display 10, armassembly 60, and others) coupled to the truck assembly 70. In someexample configurations, the truck assembly 70 can provide heightadjustment for the display attachment bracket 45 relative to the desksurface 30.

The arm assembly 60 can be coupled to the truck assembly 70. The armassembly 60 can provide articulation for the display attachment bracket45 relative to the riser assembly 50. The position of the displayattachment bracket can be adjusted relative to the riser assembly 50 bymoving the arm assembly 60.

In some example configurations, a tilt assembly 40 can be coupled to thearm assembly 60. In some example configurations, the tilt assembly 40can further include a detachable display attachment bracket 45. Thedisplay attachment bracket can be coupled to a display (e.g., thedisplay 10 of FIG. 1). The tilt assembly 40 can be configured to acceptthe display attachment bracket 45. The tilt assembly 40 can adjust anangle of the display attachment bracket 45 relative to the riserassembly 50 around a horizontal first axis (not shown), and it canprovide rotation of the display attachment bracket 45 relative to thedesk surface 30 around a vertical second axis (not shown).

The one or more cable covers 65 and the cable management bracketassembly 80 can at least partially conceal the cables from outside view,and they can control the orientation of the one or more cables duringheight adjustment of the one or more displays.

FIGS. 7-8 are side views of the display mounting system 100 of FIG. 3.The arm assembly 60 is shown in extended orientation. A clamp bracket 25can be coupled to the base 20. The clamp bracket 25 can couple thedisplay mounting system 100 to the desk surface 30, (for example, it canfixedly attach the display mounting system 100 to an edge of the desksurface 30). The truck assembly 70 can be configured to move along atleast a portion of the riser assembly. In some example configurations,the truck assembly can transfer between an elevated position (asillustrated in FIG. 7) and lowered position (as illustrated in FIG. 8).

FIGS. 9-10 are a perspective view and a top view of the riser assembly50 together with the truck assembly 70, respectively. The riser assembly50 can include a support column 200. The support column 200 can becoupled to the base 20. In some example configurations, the supportcolumn 200 can extend upward from the base 20 in perpendicular directionto the lower surface of the base 20. In other example configurations,the support column 200 can extend upwards from the lower surface of thebase 20 in an angular orientation (e.g., in an obtuse angle).

The support column 200 can include a front face 201 and a rear face 202opposite the front face 201. The front face 201 and the rear face 202 ofthe support column 200 can be coupled to each other by a first sidesurface 210 and a second side surface 220 opposite the first sidesurface 218. The front face 201, the rear face 202, the first sidesurface 210, and the second side surface 220 of the support column 200can form an elongated tubular structure. The support column 200 can beelongated in the axial direction 209 (shown in FIG. 11). The first sidesurface 210 and the second side surface 220 of the support column 200can form the first guide surface 218 and the second guide surface 228,respectively.

The truck assembly 70 can be slidably engaged with the support column200. The truck assembly 70 can at least partially overlap with thesupport column 200. Truck assembly can translate relative to the supportcolumn in the axial direction 209. The truck assembly 70 can include oneor more guiding components (e.g., glides, wheels, or the like). The oneor more guiding components of the truck assembly 70 (e.g., the wheelassemblies 320 and 330 of FIG. 23) can be in contact with the first 218and the second 228 guide surfaces of the support column 200 to guide thetruck assembly 70 during its translation relative to the support column200.

In some example configurations, the first guide surface 218 and thesecond guide surface 228 can be in a circular contour as illustrated inFIG. 10. In other example configurations, the first 218 and the second228 guide surfaces can be in other shapes including (but not limited to)oval, flat, and other shapes. Outside contour of the one or more guidingcomponents of the truck assembly 70 (e.g., outside profile of the wheel324 of FIG. 25) can match the contour of the first 218 and the second228 guide surfaces.

FIG. 11 is a front view of the riser and truck assemblies. In someexample configurations, the front face 201 of the support column supportcolumn 200 can further include an opening (e.g., a slot 203). The slot203 can be an elongated opening formed in parallel to the axialdirection 209. The slot 203 can provide access to an internal space ofthe support column 200 where the counterbalance mechanism 55 (shown inFIG. 12) can be located. A component of the truck assembly 70 (e.g., ahook, or the like) can penetrate through the slot 203 to couple with thecounterbalance mechanism 55.

FIGS. 12-14 are front views of the riser assembly 50 in variousconfigurations. The riser assembly 50 can include a support column 200.The front face 201 of the support assembly 50 is removed in FIGS. 12-14to show the components located inside the support column 200. A mountingbracket 280 can be coupled to the lower end of the support column 200,and a top bracket 230 can be coupled to the upper end of the supportbracket 200. The span between the top bracket 230 and the mountingbracket 280 can define a length of the support bracket 200. Acounterbalance mechanism 55 can be included inside the support column200 between the top bracket 230 and the mounting bracket 280. Thecounterbalance mechanism 55 can be coupled to the support column 200 andto the truck assembly 70. The counterbalance mechanism 55 can includeone or more energy storage members (e.g., one or more extension springs260) and a wheel assembly 235. The counterbalance mechanism 55 canfurther include an adjustment screw 255, an adjustment bracket 250, anda connecting bracket 265. The adjustment bracket 250 and the connectingbracket 265 can be adapted to translate in the axial direction 209. Theone or more springs 260 can be coupled to the adjustment bracket 250 onone end and coupled to the connecting bracket 265 on the other end.Additional information regarding this conversion can be found incommonly assigned U.S. Pat. No. 8,286,927 to Sweere et al., which isincorporated by reference in its entirety.

In some example configurations, the adjustment screw 255 can be coupledto the top bracket 230. The adjustment screw 255 can include a head (notshown) and a threaded shaft. The threaded shaft of the adjustment screw255 can extend from the head along an axial direction (not shown) of theadjustment screw 255. The head of the adjustment screw 255 can besupported by the top bracket 230. The axial direction of the adjustmentscrew 255 can be parallel to the axial direction 209 of the supportcolumn 200.

The adjustment bracket 250 can have a threaded hole. The adjustmentscrew 255 can be threadingly engaged with the adjustment bracket 250through the threaded hole of the adjustment bracket 250. The adjustmentbracket 250 can be guided by the support column 200 to prevent it fromrotating relative to the support column 200 as the adjustment screw 255rotates around its axis. The adjustment bracket 250 can be configured totranslate along the axial direction of the adjustment screw 255. Theadjustment screw 255 can be used in combination with the adjustmentbracket 250 to adjust a tension of the one or more springs 260.

A low-tension configuration of the one or more springs 260 isillustrated in FIG. 12. In the low-tension orientation, the adjustmentbracket 250 can be located at a first distance 251A from the top bracket230. A high-tension configuration of the one or more springs 260 isillustrated in FIG. 13. The adjustment bracket 250 can be translatedcloser to the top bracket in high-tension orientation. In thehigh-tension orientation, the adjustment bracket 250 can be located at asecond distance 251B from the top bracket 230 where the second distance251B is smaller than the first distance 251A. As the tension isincreased on the one or more springs 260 (e.g., configuration shown inFIG. 13), the counterbalance mechanism 55 can lift a larger weightcoupled to the wheel assembly 70.

FIG. 15 is a close-up view of the upper portion of the riser 50 and thetruck 70 assemblies. In some example configurations, a weight adjustmentindicator strip 256 can be coupled to the adjustment bracket 250. Theindicator strip 256 can have a first edge 257 and a second edge 258opposite the first edge 257. The indicator strip 256 can further includea third edge 253 and a fourth edge 254 opposite the third edge 253. Thefirst edge 257, the second edge 258, the third edge 253, and the fourthedge 254 can form a planar surface with a width between the first edge257 and the second edge 258, and a length between the third edge 253 andthe fourth edge 254. The indicator strip 256 can have an elongated shapewhere the length is substantially larger than the width. The indicatorstrip 256 can be coupled to the adjustment bracket 250 proximate itsthird edge 253. The indicator strip 256 can be adapted to move with theadjustment bracket 250 during the adjustment of the tension of one ormore springs 260.

A lift force indicator line 259 can be formed on the planar surface ofthe indicator strip 256 as illustrated in FIG. 15 according to anexample configuration of the current disclosure. The indicator line 259can be at an angle relative to the first side 257 and the second side258 of the indicator strip 256. The indicator line 259 can be inclinedfrom the first side 257 towards the second side 258 of the indicatorstrip 256 so that a distance measured between the first side 257 and theindicator line 259 in a direction that is perpendicular to the firstside 257 can be larger if the measurement location is further away fromthe third side 253 of the indicator strip 256.

In an example configurations, a window 204 can be formed on the frontface 201 of the support column 200 as illustrated in FIG. 11. The window204 can be configured to at least partially overlap with the indicatorstrip 256. The planar surface of the indicator strip 256 (e.g., thesurface on which the indicator line 259 is formed) can face towards thefront face 201 of the support column 200 such that the indicator line259 can be at least partially visible through the window 204. Thelocation of the window 204 can be stationary relative to the supportcolumn 200. The adjustment bracket 250 and the indicator strip 256 canmove relative to the support column 200 during the adjustment of thetension of one or more springs 260.

Some example configurations of the indicator line 259 as it can bevisible through the window 204 are illustrated in FIGS. 16A-16B. Theorientation of the indicator line 259 visible through the window 204 canbe adapted to indicate a relative magnitude (e.g., low, high) of thelift force generated by the counterbalance mechanism 55.

In some example configurations when the tension is lowered on the one ormore springs 260 (e.g., the adjustment bracket 250 is moved away fromthe upper end of the support column 200 and towards the window 204 asillustrated in FIG. 12), a lift force generated by the counterbalancemechanism 55 can be low. In this configuration, the indicator strip 256can also move with the adjustment bracket 250 away from the upper end ofthe support column 200, and a portion of the indicator line 259proximate the third side 253 of the indicator strip 256 (e.g., theindicator line 259 can be close to the first side 257) can be visiblethrough the window 204 as illustrated in FIG. 16A.

In other example configurations, when the tension is increased on theone or more springs 260 (e.g., the adjustment bracket 250 is movedcloser to the upper end of the support column 200 and away from thewindow 204 as illustrated in FIG. 13), a lift force generated by thecounterbalance mechanism 55 can be high. In this configuration, theindicator strip 256 can also move with the adjustment bracket 250towards the upper end of the support column 200, and a portion of theindicator line 259 proximate the fourth side 254 of the indicator strip256 (e.g., the indicator line 259 can be farther away from to the firstside 257) can be visible through the window 204 as illustrated in FIG.16B.

In some example configurations, a magnitude of the lift force can beindicated by one or more numbers (e.g., numbers from 1 to 10) instead ofan indicator line. The one or more numbers can be printed on theindicator strip 256, and depending on the spring adjustment, a numbercan be visible through the window 204. The number visible through thewindow 204 can be adapted to correspond to a level of adjustment (e.g.,1 being a lower lift force than 10).

In other configurations, a movement of the adjustment bracket 250 (andthus, a movement of the indicator strip 256) can be adapted to correlateto an actual lift force provided by the counterbalance mechanism 55. Themovement of the adjustment bracket 250 can be an indication of thespring tension. The spring tension can be converted to a spring forceusing the spring parameters (e.g., spring stiffness, and initialtension). The calculated spring force can be converted to a lift forceusing the known cam and wheel geometry. The calculated lift forcecorresponding to a movement of the adjustment bracket 250 can be printedon the indicator strip 256, and it can be visible through the window204.

The wheel assembly 235 can include a wheel 240 and a cam 245. In someexample configurations, the wheel 240 and the cam 245 can be formed asintegral parts of the wheel assembly 235. In other configurations, thewheel 240 and the cam 245 can be formed separately and coupled to eachother to form the wheel assembly 235. An axle 283 can be coupled to themounting bracket 280. The wheel assembly 235 can be coupled to themounting bracket 280 through the axle 283. The wheel assembly 235 can beconfigured to rotate around the axle 283.

In an example configuration, the counterbalance mechanism 55 can includea tensile member 270 (e.g., a rope, wire, cord, or the like). One end ofthe rope 270 can be coupled to the connecting bracket 265. The rope 270can engage with a portion of the wheel assembly 235 and extend towardsan idler pulley 285 coupled to the top bracket 230 proximate the upperend of the support column 200. The rope 270 can further wrap around theidler pulley 285 to change direction and extend towards the lower end ofthe support column 200. A loop 275 can be formed at the other end of therope 270. The loop 275 can be coupled to the truck assembly 70.

In another example configuration, the counterbalance mechanism 55 caninclude two or more tensile members as illustrated in FIGS. 13-14. Forinstance, a first tensile member 271 can be coupled between the cam 245and the connecting bracket 265. A second tensile member 272 can have aloop 275 on one end. The loop 275 can be coupled to the truck assembly70. The second tensile member 272 can be routed around the idler pulley285 and the other end of the second tensile member 272 can be coupled tothe wheel assembly 235.

FIG. 13 illustrates an orientation of the truck assembly 70 locatedproximate the upper end of the height adjustment range (e.g., the truckassembly 70 is proximate the upper end of the support column 200). Inthis orientation, the first tensile member 271 can be coupled betweenthe connecting bracket 265 and the cam 245, and the second tensilemember 272 can be coupled between the wheel 240 and the truck assembly70 (e.g., the loop 275 located at the end of the second tensile member272 can engage with a component, e.g., hook, of the truck assembly 70).In this orientation, the second tensile member 272 can be wrapped aroundthe wheel 240.

FIG. 14 illustrates an orientation of the truck assembly 70 locatedproximate the lower end of the height adjustment range (e.g., the truckassembly 70 is proximate the lower end of the support column 200). Asthe truck assembly 70 translates towards the lower end of the heightadjustment range, the loop 275 translates with the truck assembly 70,and thus, increasing the distance between the idler pulley 285 and theloop 275. Increased length of the second tensile member 272 between theidler pulley 285 and the loop 275 can be provided by the rotation (e.g.,in clockwise direction) of the wheel assembly 235 (e.g., by unwrapping aportion of the second tensile member 272 that was wrapped around thewheel 240). The cam 245 can also rotate with the wheel assembly 235,therefore, a portion of the first tensile member 271 can be wrappedaround the cam 245. Wrapping a portion of the first tensile member 271can pull the connecting bracket 265 towards the wheel assembly 235 byfurther stretching the one or more springs 260 as illustrated in FIG.14. Further stretching the springs 260 can increase the spring force.However, increasing spring force can be adapted to be converted to aconstant lift force applied to the truck assembly 70 via the loop 275 byvarying the radius of the cam 245 continuously at the contact pointbetween the cam 245 and the first tensile member 271.

Referring again to FIG. 12, the one or more springs 260, the rope 270,and the wheel assembly 235 can cooperate to help counterbalance a forceapplied to the truck assembly 70. Counterbalancing the force applied tothe truck assembly 70 can help maintain the amount of force required totranslate the truck assembly 70 with respect to the support column 200.Stated another way, the counterbalance mechanism 55 can be adapted tosupport the truck assembly 70 such that the amount of force necessary totranslate the truck assembly 70 with respect to the support column 200remains substantially constant, despite increasing force created by thesprings 260 during translation. Additionally, the counterbalancemechanism 55 can help maintain a position of the truck assembly 70 withrespect to the support column 200, such as by providing a lift forceequivalent to the combined weight of the truck assembly 70 and all thecomponents coupled to it, including (but not limited to) one or moredisplays (shown in FIGS. 1-2).

In an example configuration, the truck assembly 70 can be operationallycoupled to the counterbalance mechanism 55 and coupled to the electronicdisplay 10 (shown in FIG. 1). The counterbalance mechanism 55 can helpmaintain the position (e.g., height) of the truck assembly 70 (andthereby the display 10) with respect to the desk surface 30. Moreover,if the user desires to change the position (e.g., raise or lower) of thedisplay 10, the counterbalance mechanism 55 can help maintain the amountof force necessary to change the position of the truck assembly 70 (andthereby the display 10) such that the amount of force necessary tochange the position of the truck assembly 70 with respect to the desksurface 30 can be substantially constant.

FIGS. 17-19 are perspective views of the base 20 according to an exampleconfiguration of the current disclosure. The base 20 can include a flatbottom surface 29. The bottom surface 29 can be adapted to be placed ona desk surface 30. The base 20 can include a front end 21 and a rear end22. The front end 21 and the rear end 22 of the base 20 can be connectedby right-side wall 23 and the left-side wall 24. In some exampleconfigurations, the base 20 can have a hollow portion 19 between thefront end 21, the rear end 22, the right-side wall 23, and the left-sidewall 24. One or more features can be formed in and around the hollowportion 19 of the base 20 to secure the cable management components(e.g., cable management bracket assembly 80 and cable management clip 85of the display mounting system 100 of FIG. 3) as it will be apparent inthe following sections of this disclosure.

In some example configurations, a first clip 26 can be formed proximatethe rear end 22, and a second clip 28 can be formed proximate the frontend 21 of the base 20. One or more recesses 27 can be formed on theleft-side wall 24 of the base 20. The one or more recesses 27 caninitiate from the bottom surface 29 of the base 20 and extend upwardsinto the left-side wall 24. The one or more recesses 27 can merge withthe hollow portion 19 of the base 20. In some configurations, the one ormore recesses 27 can also be formed on the right-side wall 23 of thebase 20. A shallow cavity 18 can be formed proximate the rear end 22 ofthe base 20. One or more apertures 17 can be formed inside the shallowcavity 18. The shallow cavity 18 can be adapted to receive the lower endof the riser assembly 50 (e.g., the mounting bracket 280 of FIG. 12 canbe located inside the shallow cavity 18). One or more screws (not shown)can be inserted through the one or more apertures 17 to engage with themounting bracket 280 to secure the mounting bracket 280 to the base 20.

A clamp screw housing 205 can be located proximate the rear end of thebase 20, and it can extend upwards from the base 20. In some exampleconfigurations, the clamp screw housing 205 can be formed as an integralpart of the base 20. In other example configurations, the clamp screwhousing 205 can be formed as a stand-alone component and coupled to thebase 20 during the assembly process. In yet other configurations, theclamp screw housing 205 can be formed as an integral part of the supportcolumn 200.

One or more tabs (e.g., the first tab 206 and the second tab 207) can beformed on to the front face 208 of the support clamp screw housing 205.The one or more tabs 206 can be adapted to receive a portion of the rearface 202 of the support column 200. A portion of the rear face 202 ofthe support column 200 can be inserted between the one or more tabs 206and the front face 208 of the clamp screw housing 205 to further securethe riser assembly 50 to the base 20.

FIG. 20 is a cross-sectional view of the lower end of the riser assembly50. An L-shaped clamp bracket 25 can be coupled to the clamp screwhousing 205. A clamp nut 295 can be fixedly attached to the clampbracket 25. The clamp nut 295 can have a threaded hole. A clamp screw290 can be coupled to the clamp screw housing 205. The clamp screw 290can be threadingly engaged with the clamp nut 295. As the clamp screw290 is rotated, the clamp bracket 25 can be pulled towards the bottomsurface of the base 20. The base can be located proximate an edge of thedesk surface 30. The edge of the desk surface 30 can be located betweenthe base 20 and the L-shaped clamp bracket 25 as illustrated in FIG. 15according to an example configuration of the current disclosure. Thedesk surface 30 can be clamped between the base 20 and the clamp bracket25 to fixedly attach the riser assembly 50 proximate to the edge of thedesk surface 30.

FIGS. 21 and 22 are a perspective view and a side view of the truckassembly 70, respectively. The truck assembly 70 can include a truckbody 71. The truck body 71 can include a front plate 300 and rear plate305 opposite to the front plate 300. The truck body 71 can furtherinclude a first side plate 310 and a second side plate 315 opposite thefirst side plate 310. The first side plate 310 and the second side plate315 can connect the front plate 300 and the rear plate 305. In someexample configurations, the front plate 300 and the rear plate 305 canbe substantially flat, and the first side plate 310 and the second sideplate 315 can be substantially rounded. In some example configurations,the truck body 71 can be formed in one piece (e.g., the front plate 300,the rear plate 305, the first side plate 310, and the second side plate315 can be formed as an integral parts of the truck body 71). In otherconfigurations, the front plate 300, the rear plate 305, the first sideplate 310, and the second side plate 315 can be formed separately andthey can be configured to be coupled together during the assemblyprocess to form the truck body 71.

In some example configurations, one or more threaded holes 302 can beformed on the truck body 71 (for example, threaded holes 302 can beformed over the front plate 300). The one or more threaded holes 302 canbe used to couple the cable management bracket assembly 80 to the truckassembly 70. The one or more threaded holes 302 can be located proximateto the first 310 and the second side 315 plates to couple the cablemanagement bracket assembly 80 to either side of the truck body 71.

FIGS. 23 and 24 are a perspective view and an exploded view of the truckassembly 70, respectively. FIG. 23 shows a partial cross-section of thetruck assembly 70 to show the internal components. The truck assembly 70can include a first wheel assembly 320, a second wheel assembly 330, athird wheel assembly 340, and a fourth wheel assembly 350. Wheelassemblies 320, 330, 340, and 340 can be coupled to the truck body 71.The first wheel assembly 320 and the third wheel assembly 340 can belocated on one side of the support column 200. The first wheel assembly320 and the third wheel assembly 340 can be configured to be in contactwith the first guide surface 218 of the support column 200. The secondwheel assembly 330 and the fourth wheel assembly 350 can be located onthe other side of the support column 200. The second wheel assembly 330and the fourth wheel assembly 350 can be configured to be in contactwith the second guide surface 228 of the support column 200. The wheelassemblies 320, 330, 340, and 350 can guide the truck assembly 70 overthe support column 200 during the translation of the truck assembly 70relative to the support column 200.

The truck assembly 70 can further include a hook bracket 360 and an armattachment bracket 370. The hook bracket 360 can be fixedly attached tothe front plate 300 of the truck body 71. An aperture 301 can be formedon the front plate 300. The hook bracket 360 can be formed in variousshapes (e.g., an L-shape as illustrated in FIG. 24). One end of the hookbracket 360 can be inserted through the aperture 301 to penetrate intothe space between the front plate 300 and the rear plate 305.

In an example configuration, the hook bracket 360 can be insertedthrough the slot 203 located on the front face 201 of the support column200 when the riser assembly 50 is coupled with the truck assembly 70 asshown in FIG. 9. The hook bracket 360 can be configured to be coupled tothe loop 275 of the tensile member 270 to provide lift assist for thetruck assembly 70. The rope 270 can lift the truck assembly 70 towardsthe upper end of the support column 200. A counterbalancing forcecreated by the counterbalance mechanism 55 can be applied to the truckassembly 70 to counter at least a portion of the combined weight of thetruck assembly 70 and all the components (e.g., an electronic display 10of FIG. 1, and others) coupled to the truck assembly 70.

The arm attachment bracket 370 can be fixedly attached to the frontplate 300 of the truck assembly 70. A tip 371 can be formed on the upperend of the arm attachment bracket 370. The tip 371 can be useful tocouple the arm assembly 60 to the truck assembly 70 as it will beapparent in the following sections.

FIGS. 25 and 26 are a perspective view and an exploded view of the firstwheel assembly 320, respectively. In an example configuration, the firstwheel assembly 320 can have a first wheel 321, one or more bearings 325,and an axle 327. The first wheel can have a first end 322 and a secondend 323. The first wheel 321 can have an opening along its axis betweenthe first end 322 and the second end 323. An outside diameter of thefirst wheel 321 can vary between the first end 322 and the second end323. The first wheel 321 can have a larger outside wheel diameterproximate to the first end 322 and the second end 323 as shown in FIG.25. The first wheel 321 can have a concave profile 324 between the firstend 322 and the second end 323. In some example configurations, thesmaller wheel diameter can be located proximate the center of the firstwheel 321. The concave profile 324 of the first wheel 321 canapproximately match the outside profile of the first guide surface 218.

All wheel assemblies can be constructed the same as the first wheelassembly 320. Wheel assemblies can include wheels having an outsideprofile to match the shape of the guide surfaces located on the sides ofthe support column 200. Outside profile of the wheels can be any shapeincluding (but not limited to) tapered, round, oval, flat, and others.

In an example configuration, the one or more bearings 325 can be placedinside the first wheel 321 proximate the first end 322 and the secondend 323. An outside diameter of the bearing 325 can be tight fit to aninside diameter of the first wheel 321. The one or more bearings 325 canhave a center opening. An axle 327 can be inserted through the openingson the one or more bearings 325. The axle 327 can be partially locatedinside the center opening of the first wheel 321. The axle 327 can formthe rotation axis for the wheel assembly 320. The one or more bearings325 can provide rotation assistance for the wheel assembly 320 duringthe translation of the truck assembly 70 relative to the support column200. In other example configurations, the first wheel assembly 320 canbe built without having the one or more bearings 325. Flat bushings orgrease can be applied to an inside diameter of the first wheel 321(e.g., at the first wheel and axle interface) to reduce the friction andprovide rotation assistance.

The axle 327 can have a round cross-section in its middle section. Thefirst wheel 321 and the one or more bearings 325 can be located over themiddle section of the axle 327. IN an example configuration, at leastone flat section (e.g., a first flat section 328 and a second flatsection 329) can be formed proximate to one or both ends of the axle327. At least one flat section (e.g., the first flat section 328) canextend out of the bearing 325 as illustrated in FIG. 25.

FIG. 27 is a cross-sectional top view of the truck assembly 70. FIG. 28is a cross-sectional front view of the truck assembly 70. The truck body71 can be formed as an elongated hollow body including the front plate300, the rear plate 305, the first side plate 310, and the second sideplate 315. The truck body 71 can be an elongated structure (e.g., it canbe elongated in an axial direction 309) between an upper end 303 and alower end 304. The axial direction 309 of the truck body 71 and theaxial direction 209 of the support column 200 can be parallel.

In an example configuration, the support column 200 can be locatedinside the hollow section of the truck body 71 as illustrated in FIG.27. The first wheel assembly 320 and the third wheel assembly 340 can becoupled to the truck body 71 proximate the first side plate 310. Thethird wheel assembly 330 and the fourth wheel assembly 350 can becoupled to the truck body 71 proximate the second side plate 315 asillustrated in FIG. 28. The concave profile 324 of the wheel (e.g., thefirst wheel 321) can substantially match the outside profile of theguide surface (e.g., the first guide surface 218).

A first set of slots 311-312 and a second set of slots 313-314 can beformed into the front plate 300 and the rear plate 305 of the truck body71 proximate the first side plate 310 and the second side plate 315,respectively. The first set of slots 311 and 312 can be separated fromeach other in the axial direction 309 of the truck body 71 and they canbe formed proximate the upper end 303 and the lower end 304 of the truckbody 71, respectively. Similarly, the second set of slots 313 and 314can be separated from each other in the axial direction 309 of the truckbody 71 and they can be formed proximate the upper end 303 and the lowerend 304 of the truck body 71, respectively. The first flat section 328and the second flat section 329 of the axle 327 can be configured to fitinside the first set of slots (e.g., slots 311-312) and the second setof slots (e.g., slots 313-314).

The first set of slots (e.g., slots 311-312) can be configured as atight fit around the first flat section 328 and the second flat section329 of the axle 327. After the axle 327 is inserted in to the first setof slots, the axle 327 cannot move relative to the truck body 71. Thesecond set of slots (e.g., slots 313-314) can include at least one edgethat can be built at an angle 335 with the axial direction 309 of thetruck body 71 as illustrated in FIG. 28. There can be a clearance insidethe second set of slots 313-314 such that when the axle 327 istranslated against the inclined edge (e.g., against the inclined edge ofthe slot 313), the axle 327, and thus, the wheel assembly (e.g., secondwheel assembly 330) can be translated towards the center of the truckbody 71.

The truck body 71 can further include one or more apertures 308proximate the first side plate 310 and the second side plate 315. Theone or more apertures 308 can be formed proximate to upper end 303 andthe lower end 304 of the truck body 71. In some example configurations,the one or more apertures can be elongated along the entire length ofthe truck body 71 from the upper end 303 to the lower end 304.

FIG. 29 is a top view of the truck assembly 70. The support column 200can be located inside the hollow section of the truck body 71. The truckassembly can further include a first clamp 316, a second clamp 317, athird clamp 318, and a fourth clamp 319. The first clamp 316, the secondclamp 317, the third clamp 318, and the fourth clamp 319 can beconfigured to secure the first wheel assembly 320, the second wheelassembly 330, the third wheel assembly 340, and the fourth wheelassembly 350 on to the truck body 71, respectively. One or more screws307 can be inserted through one or more apertures (not shown) located onthe clamps (e.g., the first clamp 316). The one or more screws 307 canthreadingly engage with the one or more apertures 308 located on thetruck body 71 to press the clamps (e.g., the first clamp 316) on to thetruck body 71.

A section of the clamps (e.g., the first clamp 316) can be configured topress against the axle 327 to trap the axle inside the slots (e.g., thefirst slot 311). During the assembly, the first wheel assembly 320 andthe third wheel assembly 340 can be securely coupled to the truck body71 by using the first clamp 316 and the third clamp 318, respectively.The support column 200 can be inserted into the hollow section of thetruck body 71 between the wheel assemblies. The first guiding surface218 of the support column 200 can be rested against the concave surfaces324 of the first 320 and the third 340 wheel assemblies. Then, thescrews 307 coupled to the second clamp 317 and the fourth clamp 319 canbe tightened to press the second 317 and the fourth 319 clamps againstthe axles 327 of the second 330 and fourth 350 wheel assemblies,respectively. The axles 327 of the second 330 and fourth 350 wheelassemblies can translate against the inclined edges of slots 313 and314, and thus, the second 330 and fourth 350 wheel assemblies cantranslate towards the center of the truck body 71 until the concavesurfaces 324 of the second 330 and the fourth 350 wheel assembliescontact the second guiding surface 228 of the support column 200.

FIGS. 30-31 show a perspective view and top view of the arm assembly 60of FIG. 5 in an expanded configuration, respectively. FIG. 32 is anexploded view of the main components of the arm assembly 60. The armassembly 60 can include a first arm 510, a second arm 520, a third arm530, and a fourth arm 540. The arm assembly 60 can further include arear bracket 550 and a front bracket 560. The first arm 510 and thesecond arm 520 can be rotatingly coupled to the rear bracket 550 (e.g.,at a first hinge 515), and the third arm 530 and the fourth arm 540 canbe rotatingly coupled to the front bracket 560 (e.g., at a third hinge535.)

In some example configurations, the first arm 510 and the second arm 520can be configured to rotate relative to the rear bracket 550 around thesame axis (e.g., a first axis 580). In other example configurations, thefirst arm 510 and the second arm 520 can be configured to rotaterelative to the rear bracket 550 around two separate axes (not shown)that can be away from each other. Similarly, in some exampleconfigurations, the third arm 530 and the fourth arm 540 can beconfigured to rotate relative to the front bracket 560 around the sameaxis (e.g., a third axis 585). In other example configurations, thethird arm 530 and the fourth arm 540 can be configured to rotaterelative to the front bracket 560 around two separate axes (not shown)that can be away from each other.

The second arm 520 and the third arm 530 can be rotatingly coupled at asecond hinge 525. The second arm 520 and the third arm 530 can beconfigured to rotate relative to each other around a second axis 582.The first arm 510 and the fourth arm 540 can be rotatingly coupled at afourth hinge 545. The first arm 510 and the fourth arm 540 can beconfigured to rotate relative to each other around a fourth axis 583.The first axis 580, the second axis 582, the third axis 585, and thefourth axis 583 can be parallel to the axial direction 209 of thesupport column 200 of FIG. 11.

In some example configurations, the rear bracket 550 of the arm assembly60 can be coupled to a height adjustable truck assembly (e.g., the truckassembly 70 of FIG. 3). Accordingly, the first arm 510 and the secondarm 520 can be rotatably coupled to the truck assembly 70 (e.g., at thefirst hinge 515). In other configurations, the rear bracket 550 can bebuilt an integral part of the front plate 300 of the truck assembly 70.

FIG. 33 is a cross-sectional view of the first hinge 515, and FIG. 34 isa cross-sectional view of the first hinge 515 as the rear bracket 550 iscoupled to the arm attachment bracket 370 of the truck assembly 70 ofFIG. 7. The rear bracket 550 can have a front portion 551 and a rearportion 552. The rear portion 552 can be configured to be coupled to thearm attachment bracket 370. The front portion 551 can include a firstbracket 553 and a second bracket 554 extending from the body of the rearbracket 550 in transverse direction. The first bracket 553 and thesecond bracket 554 can be parallel to each other and they can be spacedapart from each other. In some example configurations, the first bracket553 and the second bracket 554 can be formed as an integral part of therear bracket 550. In other configurations, the first bracket 553 and thesecond bracket 554 can be formed separately, and they can be coupled tothe rear bracket 550 during the assembly operation.
